As I have done for a few weeks now, I am sharing various pieces from the SFR 50^th Anniversary publication. I hope this sets the stage for you all to think more about SFR at 75. Many of you who read this are state agency fisheries managers, and I want to use this space to ask you to consider submitting an abstract for the AFS meeting in San Antonio in August. The meeting will feature a symposium on the 75^th Anniversary of SFR. State agency staff have completed so many great projects, the possibilities are nearly endless. We would love to hear those success stories, and not-so-successful stories from our collective SFR work. Often we learn more from our failures than we do from our successes!

This week’s installment looks at how SFR advanced the field of fisheries management, contemplating ecosystem management, hatchery products, and technologic tools to fuel improvements. Again, enjoy this look back, and please consider submitting an abstract to our SFR symposium at the AFS Annual Meeting in San Antonio.
